I took an unintended 4-day break from my project,
Guess what is exactly I needed to read right now.

Taking a 4-day break isn't a very strenuous task.
All you need to revise is the concepts which you included in your project.
Start from scratch !
Just follow this simple exercise:-
1) Read the project Thoroughly ( Including every Function, Parameter, Library files included etc)
2) Again Go through the Aim and Source where you referred during the making of your project.
3) Reverse Engineering is the last step - So that you could make yourself feel adapted.

It will take a day or so with no progress just to remember how the whole system fits together. Once your past this stage things become a lot easier.
coding looks tough when you see it for the first time but becomes easier and fun as it continues and programming must be learnt properly with full involvement...

All the Best !

Thanks for the advice Saksham,
Will definitely try to apply those,
After browsing through here, would take an half-hour break and then get back at the project 👍.
Thanks again.

Yes indeed!
Things seems hard but once you start it and "take involvement in learning"
things becomes easier
